I know opinions are like ***holes, everyone has one.
As such, please opine regarding your experience with throttle locks as I think I would like to add one to my F6B for those long strait stretches of prairie I ride on occasion.
Please be objective and post your likes and dislikes (if any).

The Go Cruise aluminum (adjustable) throttle lock works great for me. It may look a little funky but the simplicity and ease of use makes up for any funkiness. I don't think it can be beat for the price and ease of use.
And have a throttlemeister on my F6B. The rocker was OK, but on real long hauls, it still put some strain on the wrist. The Throttlemeister seems better, since it takes away any need for muscle input to the throttle - unless you need to override it. On hills and curves, I prefer no lock at all.
I have to agree with Ghostrider
The adjustability and ease of use of the Go Cruise is great. For the price I don't think there's anything as simplistic and user friendly. Had the opportunity to do some riding on the interstate yesterday and gave the GC several "set and release" tries and it worked flawlessly. Forefinger for setting and thumb for releasing with gloves on was a breeze. You can roll off the throttle to release it also. The anodized black finish is a plus as it blends in with its surroundings.
Throttlemeister works!
Well, I thought I add my two cents. I installed and used throttlemeister and it is awesome. I think it looks the best of all throttle locks out there, it is easy to use and works as advertised. I never used it before but I really like it. I don't miss Goldwing cruise anymore, actually I think this one is my favorite. Goldwing cruise had a lag to it that annoyed me, so it wasn't very fast to setup or change speed. By contrast, my BMW K1200LT cruise reacted instantly and was much better. Throttlemeister locks the throttle but I can still very easily modulate the throttle. I bought the polished look as you can see in pictures. The other day I followed a friend on somewhat twisty country back roads and I was able to use throttlemeister very succesfully during the ride. It is easy to disengage, too. It looks like it came with the bike.
Buy what works for you, we all have different tastes and budgets. Things that matter to me may be different for you. Ride safe!
This is the Breakaway.Not cheap,some will say it does not look good on the bike but it works for me and I like that it unlocks with a push of the button or by grabbing the front brake lever.Had one for 6 years on my 05 Roadstar and got so use to it that I put one on my F6B.
Where did you find the F6B badge you have on the front of your bike?Originally Posted by Cool Hand Luke
I bought it from www.chromecarletters.com, these are 1" gun black mercedes benz style letters. They come with double sided tape on back and are direct replacement for OEM car letters. I want to get rid of both 'Honda' emblems front and back and have 'F6B' instead. I have just ordered chromed letters .75" from them as well to replace smaller 'Honda' logo in the back. I will post a picture when it arrives and is mounted.
It looks like the bike came that way.
I tried the Go Cruise solution and it did not work for me. I just installed the Throttlemeister and so far so good.
I have the same Baggershield windshield as you do. You sir, have good taste!
I tried a Kaoko Cruise Control *throttlelock*. It required removing the throttle bar end weight which is way too much work for one person. I use a Go Cruise. If the Throttlemeister is easy to install, I'll have to order one. I appreciate your input.
